LOL - mine sat there and watched me while critiquing my poor knife skills :)

You should have seen the expression on mine's face when I pulled the head off a dove and put it in my game bag :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Why would you do that? Is that common in your area? We keep doves like pigeons as pets or homing pigeons or they are even used for racing. My local seed guy I go to races his pigeons for big money.

No drama here. Will look into this as a meal.

You mean everyone doesn't? On a side note, my folks were married for 65 years and ever since my brother and I were old enough to hunt (that's about 8 in our neck of the woods) we were always out there on Sept 1st with Dad dove hunting. My poor Mama didn't think far enough in the future when they were discussing wedding days. She never got to celebrate their anniversary on the correct day. Never said a word about it though, just laughed it off. That's the kind of Mama I had, from the best generation in the history of our country.

I had a awesome COLOR moment this morning when I spotted a large bird carrying a very large fish and it just happened to be at the time I had driven down to the Lake to see if the bird I had seen recently might just be a Bald Eagle. Fortunately he landed on the end of a bare limb but unfortunately it was across the road on private property so I had to settle for my pathetic Camera to capture enuff so I could identify him when I got it downloaded and enlarged. Please excuse the horrible photo but it's all I could come up with at the time and I'll try to get some better ones if possible later. Yes, I need to spring for a new digital camera :dont:

I don't mind admitting that this got my Patriotic Pulse Pounding :tup: :salut: :flag: :texas:

Cowboys have been singing around the Campfires about this colorful Bush for years. I took some pics of the Purple Sage in the Front Beds to post on this thread and decided to browse it a little. WOW, brought back lots of good memories a la BondoBill as well as great pics from other members.

This is the older two Sage Bushes that I have and I've neglected their pruning. So after this Blooming Season, I'm gonna whack'em back and maybe put a stake behind'em to tie to and stop the leaning.

This is one that I rooted from a Trimming of the Above bushes. I may see if I can get a few more started from the next prune. :dont:
